Ladies and Gentlemen, My 923A2 has been suffering from an oil/coolant mixing issue recently and I wanted to share the results of what I've found and provide some info to hopefully help others. Over the past month I've noticed my engine oil becoming an increasingly milky mix of oil/water...

Ladies and Gentleman, Sunday my family and I took Cinco (the name we gave to my 923A2) down to Corova Beach, NC. It's a 70 mile trip from my home to the sand where vehicles are allowed to drive across the sand and set up camp for the day. We loaded up several large coolers, a 10x20 EZ Up Tent...

Gentleman, I have a 923A2 and I cannot be alone in thinking these trucks are far too quiet for their monsterous size and overall appearance. I understand the military wants them as quiet as possible as to not alert anyone to their presence, but as a civillian owner of one of these giants I'd...

I've searched and searched and know what the TM says, but I can't find any OE/HDO 10 weight oil in the Virginia Beach area. My trans has been working fine but I haven't changed it or the filters since I got the MV last year. I've read SO MUCH on Dextron III, and the Allison equivalent my eyes...

Hello all, On my 923A2 I noticed recently the oil was a little milky/gray colored if it sits for awhile. I've noticed nothing wrong with the coolant, no power loss, or excessive smoke out of the exhaust stack. I have noticed that if I start the truck up, run it around a little while, and...

I just got a set of bows and the vertical stays for my 923A2 and I'm having some issues figuring them out. The second and last stake pockets stop the vertical stays about one foot higher than all the others, which ends up being about a foot over the top of the cab, at 6" tall I could almost...

Hey everyone, nice to see the website working again, you don't realize how much you rely on electronics until they're gone huh? At any rate I have an air pressure issue and possible cure I wanted to run past you guys. On my 923A2 it suddenly overpressurized the air system to 150psi and the...

I'm sure most of you guys know how to flush and fill your own cooling system, it's really a simple procedure and not much different than on a normal vehicle, just a lot more fluid. On my 923A2 even though the coolant looked bright green and relatively new I figured I would empty it out, run a...

Well, you have now! Check out the bottom right corner! I'm sure there are more informed guys here that can elaborate on it's function, but the way I read it the Protective Control Box (PCB) is basically a massive set of fuses for lack of a better term. If it's electronic and controlled from...

I realize this has been discussed before to a certain degree, but I'm still in need of some clarification. I've got an M923A2 and I'm interested in possibly running the 16.00R20s on it. Do they fit? With some simple math it seems like I potentially have an issue: 14.00R20s = 48" tall and...

Would anyone with a 923A2 be willing to measure the spare tire davit? I need a height measurement from the bottom of the mounting flange surface to the top of the davit. I also need a distance measurement from the centerline of the davit out to the end. Any good photos you have I would...

I've searched and not found the answer I was looking for. I'm interested in installing a keyed battery disconnect for some increased security. Through research here I plan on installing it in the chassis ground cable. My problem is what unit will work for me? I've found several keyed...

Hello Everyone, I've only had my 923A2 for a few weeks, I'm still waiting on the SF97 to return so I can really take it out and play with it. However, I had a few questions I wanted to ask that I didn't see the answers to right away: I understand no low range in reverse, however what if your...

To begin with I'd like to thank the members here, as a new military vehicle enthusiast I've had a lot of questions that you have been kind enough to answer. Thanks to the help here I'm now the proud owner of an M923A2. I found a GL site that had quite a few trucks for sale and went to preview...

This week I will possibly be buying a 900 series 5-ton. The item is located in New Castle, DE and I would be traveling up to get it from VA Beach, VA. Is there anyone near either location or that has or has access to a tow bar to connect one 900 series to another 5 ton for a tow home? If I...

Not trying to break any forum rules but there is an event taking place in DE and PA both ending on 8/22 if anyone is in the area and would mind doing an inspection for me. If interested please PM me. Thanks, Iggy

I'm very interested in picking up a 5 ton truck, without trying to break the big rule in yellow at the top of the screen, I've seen a lot of M923A2s on the GL site selling near me. Obviously I wouldn't buy or even bid before going to look at them but I have some reservations. Have your trucks...

I'm 100% sure this has had to have come up previously and I apologize for the repost. I'm looking to purchase an M35 in the next few months. I'm torn between the A3 and A2 model. I'm a pretty competent mechanic so part of me is thinking "keep it simple stupid" and get an A2. Part of me also...

Hello everyone just wanted to put up a greeting to everyone. My Father and I are about to purchase an M35 in the next few months so I joined the site to ask questions and hopefully share our own personal experiences and knowledge. Look forward to meeting any of you in the Hampton Roads area in...
